I am sure I am very slow to find this one, but I couldn't resist pulling it down to our level, and I feel the need to defend some of my own Deal Breakers (Chirps welcome, but be willing for some returned):

RSA Deal Breakers:Wearing a leather hat to the crag, or even climbing with it. I like my hat, but they are absurd.* Hammock at the crag (there needs to be a thread of creative hammock uses while climbing)* Music at the crag* "Awe"* Down jackets at 15 C* Climbing in long sleeved button up shirts.* Boiling water rather than bringing a flask for tea.* Buffs (I use them to keep hair out of face, otherwise...?)* Trad gear at the gym, esp prussiks: Its sort of like peacocking.* "Take" on a redpoint burn* "That beta is cheating!" Keep your climbing ethics to yourself and let the guy send how he chooses.

I detest climbing with a pack 30L or more because it gets in the way, is heavy and I can't chalk up, so when multipitching I carry a 20L pack, put the rack in a small drawstring bag outside, wear my harness and helmet and Fivefingers. Shirt, lunch and warm stuff in the bag. Do I look and feel like a muppet when walking in? Yes, but much nicer to climb this way. And yes, there is one prussik in all of that which doubles as a handle for my nut tool, thanks for asking Cuan.

1. I know a very strong climber who wears a button up collared shirt because otherwise he gets horribly sunburnt. No one would ever call him out on this, but he is a nice guy so he would probably make a joke about it.

2. Just because I know I must have my prussiks on my harness at all times I would say that that peacocking thing is BS. Ironically this is something experienced climbers do & does not even vaguely compare to all the posing done by the "gym boys" whose domain is plastic & when out on the rock talk about French grades in S.A. - that is the ultimate in "Poseur"!

Love the one about wearing a beanie, no shirt and mankini's (especially if you have a pierced nipple) - sounds so Capetonian!

Updates Facebook or 8a.nu scorecard on smartphone while at the crag -- I like my smartphone, Facebook...Stick clips. I own one and use it from time to time, there is some logic in it particularly when you could get hurt.Fist bumps. It happensGives beta on a route he hasn’t done. I remember all beta

LOL

I hate this real world place... I'd be more than happy to live out there rather...

Is it bad that I suffer from most of these? (@Brian, guilty is such a strong word)And find others to be great suggestions:"Warming up on someone's project ... while wearing slops" - I'll be wearing crocs!"Trad gear at the gym" - I'll bring my big ass nr4 cam. Who notice prussiks?"And individually naming your draws" - I'm def doing that.. and naming my cams too! I know I'm gonna start making name tags.

Haha, the closest I get to soloing is in my dreams.. and normally those are nightmares where I'm 3/4 up a route, looking down to realize I have no belayer. The rope running through all the gear, but the other end just piled up on the ground.To make me feel better I sometimes claim those sends on 8A, I mean 8a
